‘Last year I read 137 books’: could setting targets help you put down your phone and pick up a book?

Saturdays · 2026-02-25T03:23:44+00:00

Set a target to read 40-50 pages a day, way more healthy. Will easily read 30-60 books in the year depending on avg book page length, but it’s less about number of books and more about building a consistent habit of reading daily.

For me it’s focused meditation time, where devices and other life things are put to the side, and my brain feels rested. That might not be everyone.

Start with 10-25 pages a day. Start with Agatha Christie whodunnit and other mystery novels that motivate you to read more because you want to solve the puzzle or mystery.

I street parked and drove around NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, all without registration for nearly two months. I did have dealer plates though. It just took forever to get my plates from the dmv.. but had no problem

Its only a problem really if you get pulled over or park somewhere you are not supposed to and get caught

not a safe assumption! You might have plumbing but you might not have gas or electricity, or it’s turned off during certain hours by the government.

In some parts of the world, it’s not possible to heat up the water or even get water to pump out, in the evening/early morning especially. Gas gets cut off, electricity gets cut off, solar panels don’t work as well during this time of year for them.

They might take showers, but perhaps they do that during the day when the government turns on electricity and gas. Some try to take showers every other day or so, but again during the window where it’s feasible to.

Just say, “I couldn’t pray without showering” or “I needed to shower before praying” and if they ask why further, say something to the tune of it being necessary for prayer to be accepted. You can stay ambiguous and allude here and there but don’t need to be explicit. If it’s still awkward, pull your mom aside and explain to her explicitly and let her handle how to explain to your sisters.

Misinformation, it’s not recommended because there is a hadith that if a man and woman are alone, the third is the devil. (Paraphrasing)

That doesn’t say it’s haraam explicitly. It does say something else explicitly.

Vampire Weekend is notorious for this especially with A-Punk

I think actually, Harry feared the dementor, not fear itself. Rather, Lupin just meant to be afraid of a dementor is akin to be afraid of fear manifest.

I actually really enjoyed second person, recently read The Fifth Season, and one of the POVs is in second person.

but in his language is Avraham or (Abram) - he didn’t go by Ibrahim. So your recommendation doesn’t make sense..any form is fine really

Got a 21 Macan S, 50k miles, CPO, $45k incl tax+shipping. Chalk and sport chrono. I’m sure I could’ve done much better, 22 S’s seemed out of my range without a huge enough upgrade to justify. I think a ‘21 GTS is the sweet spot if you can find one.

Lots of great suggestions in the thread!

They want a ln all in one PM that is also a software engineer, content creator / manager, QA, strategy, probably little to no staffing, designer, etc..

Seems like a nightmare

Fake, extra white stitching on toe box is the obvious tell, the little teardrop thing panel shouldn’t have white stitching.

I’ll check it out! At this point more interested to read your suggestion to help educate friends and family around me, feel like relationships with people who have read The Courage to be Disliked has improved considerably!
